Kellner Townsite was the first town in the area. It was platted in 1893 by John G. Kellner (1846-1933), who donated the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad right of way and station site. Kellner's rich Brazos River watershed farm and ranch lands produced rice, cattle, peanuts, pecans, and later natural gas. His old home is nearby. The town was renamed Brookshire.
